You might have warped the cylinder head due to overheating. Run a compression test.
You probably blew a head gasket.
Hi Radiator in most cases.
Usually its the water pump, and they're hard to see leaking. You may need to crawl under the front of the vehicle and look up, as the weep hole is behind the pump itself and the water will run straight down, then the radiator fan blows it backwards, hence, the "hard to find" syndrome. Good luck, you'll see it somewhere. Best to just fill it up with coolant and let is sit idling for 20 minutes or so, then start your hunt!
The water pump is easy to check. Look for a trail of white residue which is the trail of antifreeze from the leak. If it's not the water pump leaking it will be soon if you are only putting water into the cooling system. Antifreeze has a lubricant that is needed to lube and protect the water pump seal and the lack of a rust inhibitor which is also in the antifreeze will cause the inside of the motor to rust up in a few days and the rust then plugs up the radiator and heater core. Better just get the vehicle to a mechanic right away before you mess anything else up. A head gasket job costs $2,000 and you are well on your way to spending that money soon!
- Why did my Ford E350 box truck start leaking transmission fluid? So I left my truck and didn't drive it for about a week or two and 2 days ago I noticed a huge leak that came from the transmission. I'm really curious as to why it happened since I didn't drive it for these two weeks and it happened just recently. What is going on? Bad seals? Hot weather made it start seeping through? I checked the fluid levels and they look fine to me. Advice?
- Why did my 2000 Ford Windstar just blow all off the tranny fluid out. But now its not leaking anything? I drove it with a trailer attached all day then I dropped the trailer off and drove home. When a was turning on to my street the car violently shuck but kept going I pulled into my drive way and looked under my car and big puddle of tranny fluid everywhere. So I filled it up this morning and drove it 75 miles and when I got back I was still full on fluid and nothing was leaking. So WHY?
- My buddy has a 99 Ford Ranger XLT 4x4 that is leaking oil from rear passenger wheel. Any ideas on why? The brake cover is not pushed all the way against the hub. There's a half inch gap between them. Don't know if that has anything to do with it. So it has nothing to do with the wheel bearing?
